Today is the Buffalo Art Show and Auction at the Park.  As you might have guessed, the Buffalo is the subject of nearly all pieces displayed.  Pieces range from fine art paintings and pottery to welded scrap iron sculptures.  Two life size buffalo statues, one painted with a collage of natural scenes and wildlife and the other a buffalo with an ornate USA emblazed on it’s hip.   Both are fantastic pieces.  However, neither is a suitable choice for my home décor just now.  We checked out all manner of buffalo adorned items, tasted at the dutch oven cook off, and watched some pretty talented cloggers.  I even tried my hand a “chip flipping”.

I brought home a buffalo hide shoulder satchel.  Ooh, I love the smell of new leather.  It isn’t too crazy that I can absolutely melt when I look into the big dark eyes of a gazing bull or watch a prancing, playing calf yet buy a buffalo leather purse?
